pls name,a diplomatic meeting Obama went to with business men and name the business men that went there with him,I can't imagine Donald Trump or the likes of Warren Buffet following Obama overseas when they're not invited,next time,think before you talk because your comment makes no single sense

Your stupidity is begging for mercy. If you lack the information and education to know that diplomatic tours are made for business deals and expansion of stakes in other countries. You think western leaders spend billions of dollars travelling to anoda country for merry making? When you don't know, you ask questions and humble yourself to learn. Omo ale jatijati

ArodewilliamsT:
Kai, yoruba and dishonesty. why are yorubas like this? when google is spammed with "yorubas are impersonators and trolls", they will come here and cry that the Igbos caused it. just look his ugly ngb..ati face. He looks like intrepid01. Laugh wan make me slap tinunbu!

Your stupidity is innate and hereditary. Omo ale jatijati

Nobody is going anywhere, we are all sticking together by fire by force.
This is a marriage of no option, it must to work or we all stay and suffer the consequence. As for those imposters saying Yorubas want to secede too, NA LIE. Its a camouflage, YORUBAS believe more in Nigeria than any other tribe. THEY ARE BUILDERS, THEY DONT DESTROY. Let those who feel they are slaves keep enduring or fight for change in Nigeria or else....

Are you sure the guy dint do copy and paste on the document but forgot to edit properly?

tonychristopher:
your wrong
if we can exchange notes . tell me your tribe let's compare

Igbo are the most successful ethnic group economically educationally and technologically even after the war if you doubt it

tell me your tribe let's compare pls

Igbo have never been associate d failure

Please provide empirical facts, I deal with facts not mouth.

Listem, let me educate you.

Igbos are labourers while Yorubas are administrators.

Cut across SW, we provide enabling environment for labourers to trade. Determine the extent and modalities of the labourers trade. that is called WISDOM. My Guy mouth no do am, na BRAIN dey do am. If you so much believe Igbos are the best economically, why is SE no the most developed in Nigeria? Because it is filled with labourers no administrators....looooooool

If this is true, then I must say our "dear president" got it all wrong. In the first place, aw would you go for a diplomatic meeting without business gurus from your country?". It is a common practice around the world. President Obama is in Kenya with league of American business men, just to ensure that they seal high business deals and repatriate the returns to America. That is how countries are built.

I have a better question for you, do you think a call for second Niger bridge, or multiple Niger bridges, Onitsha port, Tinapa and other free trade zones, Ibaka deap sea port, and Niger delta sea walls would be ignored in a Biafra?

I use this as a case study: https://www.nairaland.com/979128/enugu-pride-east/405#36076936

Something as sweeping as a Biafra revolution would get rid of the crab in a barrel mentality and get rid of 'Nigerian' leaders. There's nothing to prove, the world saw what happened the last time Biafra existed and was ganged up on by the whole world. The fact that resources aren't being sent to Jigawa and we don't have governors answering to Boko Haram sponsors helps.

The cry for Biafra has more to do with the gang up against GEJ, something that is rooted in Nigeria's long history of prejudice against the east, more than the fact GEJ lost. GEJ was not perfect, but there was definitely a conspiracy against him just because he is eastern. If Buhari had won, just like Obasanjo, just like Yar'Adua, in a different circumstance, as in, not consistently threatening Nigeria's peace if he didn't win, then there wouldn't be such a 'cry'.

Greece got into their problems because of over doing and their people didn't respond with tax. A Biafra has enough human and natural resources to buy Greece, in fact with all the proposed states as it is the GDP is already a third of Greece and that's in this terrible climate. Greece can be used as a great case study though.

First of all I appreciate your issue based response. Obviously you are one of the few cerebral "Biafrans" up here.

Everything that happened to GEJ was totally his fault. In 2011 he was overwhelmingly voted for by Nigerians. The SW supported him, the only state he lost in SW was Osun with an insignificant margin. Immediately he got in to power due to his cluelessness xter (no insult) and ineffective leadership style started creating enemies for himself.
Let us look at the real issue, GEJ's era was one of the worst we have had, if not the worst. The simple prayer I made for Okupe on twitter when he defended GEJ is " God will run your life the way GEJ is running Nigeria". If you will have a second thought to say amen to that prayer then it shows something is wrong.

On a serious note, Politicians are the same; North, West, East and South. They are our enemies, exploiting our common opportunities to their selfish advantage. Biafra cannot be achieved without the input of Politicians from the east who are presently part of the cabal. If you don't agree to that, check out South Sudan and Montenegro; the two most recent countries to achieved sovereignty. If this Politicians will still be at the helms of affairs there will be no difference. We all need to accept the reality of the day and think of a way out. I never supported BUhari but I was vehemently against GEJ re-election due to the obvious failure and lack of content.

Speaking with respect to the Ibos, you guys need to stop playing the victim game. stop using GEJ's loss as an excuse. The SS where GEJ belong to are not even crying as you Ibos are. It is so evident that the cry is because of your obvious failure in the last election. It is obvious the Ibos lost out in the last election which to me was the most intellectual game of politics ever played in this country; second only to 1979.
When the Yorubas felt cheated in 1993 and even during GEJ's administration, they didn't cry for seccession, rather they went back to the drawing board on how best to get what they felt they deserve. Ibos too should take a cue from this, via political re-alignment and pull a political stunt. hausas may be the strongest due to the population power but they have always been given a run for their life by the Yorubas via unparalleled political strategy and style. because of this hausas know that they cant take Yorubas for granted and are always put in to consideration in their political strategy. Cos they know that if not, the Yorubas will always have a superior formula and strategy. Look at the facts in what I have stated, forget about the Yoruba, hausas that I have used and ask yourself if its true.

ArodewilliamsT:
Shattap!yorubaman claiming SS. Fake aszs monkey.

Lool...see anoda akpu-filled headed slowpoke

dearpreye:
Why should the arabic inscription be there in the first place? This is one of the myriads of problems we're facing.

Ok...you win. Isnt that what you want?

dearpreye:
Why are you scared of the truth? We are talking about some useless and nonsense arabic writings on the official logo of the Nigerian Army, and you're taking what I don't seem to get. This isn't bigotry; it's challenging what's obviously senseless.

Yea you are right...but aw does that solve the myriads of problems we have? or are you saying that is the most pressing problem we have at hand? Don't you think the security situation of this country begs for everybody's attention?

My point is this: We should stop putting our number 85th problem as number 1. Let us deal with other pressing problems before the writing on the flag.

The confederate flag in America has been part of their symbol for centuries =, it just became a subject of discussion last month. After they have solved so many important problems. My brother that is my point.

I strongly opposed the re-election of GEJ during the last election and indirectly supported Buhari. But that does not mean that we should be unnecessarily supportive of Buhari. He is not expected to make useless mistakes. that is why the law allows him to have PERSONAL ASSISTANTS. He is expected to have been prepped adequately for public statements and comments. He cant continue to disgrace us like this.

Nigerians and their misplaced priorities. We are talking about a Nigeria with stable light, job opportunities, adequate security, clothing & shelter for all someone is talking about mere inscription on the flag. Will that feed anyone? Chaii I pity your destiny. Religious bigots everywhere

Paid Biafran..he is only speaking from his pocket not from his brain...

carnegiefan:
No, you still don't get it.
Let me give you an example:

Nigeria spends MILLIONS of dollars to bring electronic communication (eg radio and TV) to local Nigerian audience.
The IPOB spends about 1% of that to bring Biafra information to WORLDWIDE audience.

Nigeria uses imported technology to try to jam radio Biafra, but FAILED.
IPOB uses LOCAL BIAFRAN technology to hop frequencies and piggy-back between frequencies to defeat wasted millions of dollars spend to buy those jammers.

In total truth, the difference between Biafra and Nigeria is literally like that between light and darkness.

To even compare both is to be disingenuous.

A fully emerged Biafran can only be compared to Israel in the middle east among those clueless Arab states.

Chaii, sometimes I wish to discuss with people who can be factual for once rather than wishful.

You said nothing about the looters I mentioned and their similarities with the present day Nigeria. Yet you delved in to another fantacy. I love and respect the Ibos for their innate commercial prowess. But the only problem is you hate and don't tell yourself the truth. When the truth appears, you quickly rush to play the victim.

ezeagu:
Somebody was talking about lending problems, which is strange because the east is crammed with economic centers, including Onitsha, Aba, Port Harcourt (or Ugwu Ocha), Nnewi and some other lesser economic centers like Enugu, Uyo, Calabar, Owere. The problem with Greece was people not paying tax, and they hardly have any natural resources. The east has oil, gas, coal, bauxite, and there's potential to expand agriculture including palm oil (used in everything now) and other agricultural products the east is not lacking. People on the coasts and delta areas have hardly been given a chance to create proper fishing industries which is why foreigners from Europe, Japan and other regions come and steal fish of West African shores.

Many of the natural resources have scarcely been touched and there are even other places that haven't been officially noted. Other countries that have failed to stand on their did not have this potential. The human potential I haven't even touched on, with the most densely populated area in Africa after Egypt and a young population, giving proper policing and incentive to get into 'nation building', the area could be a haven for telecommunication company's and call centers, especially with English being a widely used language, and there's other potential for different manufacturing industries, some that are just budding in the area, like car assembly/manufacturing, computer manufacturing, textiles and co.

Talking about manufacturing industries, just stabilising electricity alone, properly dredging the Niger and adding a proper port to Onitsha (and Asaba) would boost the already great manufacturing industries in Nnewi and the general area. Aba would improve with a proper link to Opobo and the Ibaka port. But just thinking about this, I can't really see how any of these places can be separated, it's my view that they need to be in the same country. I recently posted an article about Tinapa, and even the local Cross River people were enthusiastic about Igbo businessmen patronising the place.

Anyway. There's massive tourism potential in places like Bonny and Calabar and the whole Bight of Biafra coast in general because of it's clear sandy beaches and its history/culture/welcoming people.

Lastly, the people themselves are not lacking in innovation, these were the guys who sustained a country under fire from all sides for three years while creating their own armoured cars, arms, assembling tanks, building shelter, refining crude oil and so on. I don't think there's trouble on that side. What I think may be tricky would be to tax them and to create a climate that becomes stable so that borrowing would be reduced (because, yes a lot of borrowing may be needed) and investment, including the billions in the diaspora, can feel confident.

My Brother your analysis so on point shey? loool, I laff in Ibo.

Listen, your analysis is so Nigerian, talking about what you would like it to be but not what it will. If you are so sure of all that you have highlighted and if its that easy has you have enumerated. Please why are these things not working now. Since 1999 at least Eastern states have been having Governors but yet nothing has happened. Or are the Governors not Biafrans like you?

I have said it before, Igbos should man up and stop looking for excuses for failure. Throughout GEJ's tenure there was no cry for Biafra, but after he lost we started hearing Biafra Biafra Biafra.

And lastly on ur statement on Greece, pls you aint right. Greece's failure wasn't due to non-payment of tax. you can read more on these sites...marketwatch.com and mfs.com to know more.
How do I know, maybe cos I follow the happenings going on there minute by minute cos it affects the stock market directly; my primary baby at work

Hehehehe wonders shall never end. My people perish because they lack knowledge, wisdom and understanding.

I have read responses from the first page to the last page and I cant stop laughing about peoples responses.

Both the Biafrans and the non-biafrans have appeared funny in their responses.

None of the people passing comments here on Nairaland about the policies of the Government of Biafra will even be part of the decision making process.

The present day politicians cum looters e.g Orji Uzo Kalu, Nnamani etc will still be in charge of Biafra. My point is If you are not getting it right now in Nigeria, I bet you wont get it right anywhere. Stop looking for excuses, challenge your leaders to get it right here in Nigeria as an experiment first before dreaming of Biafra.

crixtex:
I believe d igbos would not allow Islam too..

So u mean Igbos will not be tolerant in the Biafra republic. U see, its still the same old wine in a new bottle...........rotfl

MosakuAW:
Congrats.

He looks calm from his pix.

We are still awaiting appointments from the east, all we have been seeing is North and West or there is no credible person in the East!

Truth be told....It was the North and the West that worked for the Govt of the day. South East worked for GEJ, they should ask him for appointment.

See you!!!!
The best solution whenever you are feeling sleepy is this: Go to the toilet and lockup. Omo even if you spend 2hours there nobody go know. Guy, na wetin me they do be that o

carnegiefan:
The duplicity of the two bold words are a pattern that defies logic and makes us more determined to leave Nigeria.
On the one hand you acknowledge that there are peaceful secession movements in Europe, but then you turn around to deny Biafra of the same thing, and in the process commit a logic suicide by directly contradicting yourself. Read the two bold words and show me how they reconcile with each other.

As for your war threat, well, be careful of what you wish for. I hate sounding like a broken record, but THIS IS NOT 1967.

Guy you need to read it again. Examples of agitation around the world are peaceful fine, just like I said. Gimme example of anywhere in the world where you have seena peaceful break up. Don't tell me of countries that had already broken up but decided to disintegrate.

As for your claim of this is not 1967. That is always the problem with you people. siddon there they make mouth, so your Biafra now has the military might to fight a full fledged country.

Let me tell you, your agitation for a sovereign state in this century is a pure evidence of cowardice. Each time Igbos feel sidelined in the politics of the day, the next thing you here is 'Give us Biafra'. During GEJ era when you got all juicy positions,agitation for Biafra was just a wishful thing by a few element regarded by even Igbos as jobless. But now that the table has turned around you have raised the noise and are crying. In 1993 when Yorubas felt cheated by the military era, they didn't shout for break up rather they stayed back in Nigeria and fought for a position they think theydeserve. If Igbos are smart as they believe, stay in Nigeria and come up with a political strategy that propels you to Nigerias Presidency. Let us see how good you guys are politically. Despite the fact that you are the most travel in this country, you have not been able to form a strong alliance with any other region in the country. As much as you may think other tribes don't lik you, take a step back and have a re-think, why is it that it is only 'us'. Igbos should be the strongest politically in this country, cos of your presence everywhere but no you don't have the vision to actualize such, rather you find it easy to cry foul.

Sincerely I have no issues with Igbos agitating for sovereignty. Anybody can do that. Catalunya region of spain, Scotland in U.K etc. are also asking for that. But my point is this, Igbos should calculate very well before acting this time. South Sudan pulled out of Sudan at a very costly price. They are still paying the price till today. Igbos should be ready, there is no peaceful breakup anywhere in the world. So if they want it, they should be prepared militarily, logistically and all other areas. Because it will be INSANE for you to declare sovereignty; automatically declaring war and after it is fought and lost you will come back to cry about 1 billion biafrans were killed. Please be sure this time. WAR is not fair

zendy:
I was not yet born when Biafra was declared but God on our side, I believe I will be alive to see the "cursed" Green-White-Green flag lowered for the last time and the flag of the "rising sun" hoisted forever.

IT will only happen in your nightmare

AnambraDota:
Thosse people are worst than vipers.

They said they accommodate Igbos in Lagos being Yoruba land but always chide away from their beggarly statue as they benefit from oil in Niger Delta.

The same hypocrites will be insulting Ijaws and calling them Fishermen yet they benefit from oils in Niger Delta but when igbos call them lazy cowards in Lagos they will be brushing.

If there is a snake and yorubaman in your room, pursue the Yorubaman first before the snake because a snake is always snake but a Yoruba person could turn to anything worst than a snake.

I CAN ONLY BLAME YOUR FORE_FATHERS from whom you inherited bad blood. They have done your generation a great disservice. IGBOS hating since 1820 and will keep hating till eternity

CHAII JAGABAN The Strategist....Look at the way articulated his points.I don't like this man because he's one of the looters of this country but I cant deny his political prowess. You cant be this sophisticated and not have ENEMIES. I can imagine the pain of a particular section of this country. they are like 'shey na them alone? lol

kennygee:
Seriously o.

What will u do if it leads to marriage, you'll manage him for the rest of your life?

But the book of Hebrew is not easy faa, but to unhook, its just reflex as in you don't have to think. it happens...one of the best moments life has got to offer, chaiii

Imagine a situation where the husband is Igbo and the wife is Yoruba. The husband was away when his wife gave birth and the wife's family took charge. Without the knowledge of the wife, the baby was given an Ibadan tribal mark that covers the whole face. I am so sure the husband (an Igbo man) will reject the baby on arrival.......lol
